One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

- Lucius Annaeus Seneca.

Chapter Four: Friendship.

I feel like I've been jumping or rather that I've been jumpy.

After the chat with Lulu things dimmed down for me with Mikasa away with Annie and Eren off after his disagreement with Jean the house was quite. For the rest of that day I relaxed with anxiety gripping at my being for the day to come, moreover for today.

I caught a glimpse of Ymir this morning and I almost ran up to her, but I chickened out. I had this nagging feeling that I would end up saying the wrong thing and then it would turn into what happened last week except Ymir handing my ass to me.

Don't get me wrong I still feel like I deserve it and that I should hurry up and face the music, but I feel like I shouldn't do that now at least not in school and having to pay for whatever gets damaged.

So hence the jumping feeling.

"Miss Jaeger," Mr. Cullens began rather annoyed, "is there something you'd like to share with the class?"

Besides you being a dick and singling me out instead of going over the lesson plan?

"Excuse me sir," I sigh looking up at him rather bored, "I don't quite understand what you're talking about I've been writing my notes."

As proof I hold up my notepad with everything he's talked about during the whole class period thus far. He glares at me as a few students begin to chuckle around us.

"You're quite fidgety is something the matter," he points out showing his false concern also earning dreamy sighs from girls and one or two guys.

"Besides her being a freak?" a deep voice adds causing me to turn slightly in my seat to see the smug look on Reiner's face, of course he would have something to say when doesn't he.

"Mister Braun please reframe from snide remarks in my classroom," Mr. Cullens huffed out sternly as he spared a glance at me, "and Miss Jaeger I'd like to see you after class please."

I raise my brow slightly as I look away from the now scowling face of Reiner to glance at the clock on the wall.

I'm six minutes away from freedom and being able to face Ymir and he wants to speak with me after class?

I think not.

I turn then to face Mr. Cullens.

"I'd have to decline sir," I say simply, "I have an appointment I'm needed to attend after class and I'm afraid staying after would cause me to miss it."

"This is important," he says with a charming smile but I can see the threatening force blooming within it, "and I'm sure you can reschedule."

The room is quiet as he stares at me expectantly and I puff out a breath of air.

"Well I'm afraid I just can't do that," I say simple smiling as I gather my things, "you see I'm one of the top students in my grade," I pause as I look around the classroom letting that sink in to everyone, including Reiner who is ranked fifteenth, as I refocus my gaze on Mr. Cullens, "if you suspect something fowl is going on with me and my behavior it is your job as my teacher to notify the guidance counselor to have a chat with me," I sharpen my gaze at him, "and if you think it's behavioral call my parents I think they would love to hear with you have to say about me."

The bell rings and I throw my bag over my shoulder beginning to walk out.

"Have a nice day Mr. Cullens."

And before he could do or say anything I was out of the room and walking to my locker. My heart pounding heavily in my chest.

He just gives me the creeper kind of vibes.

As I walk to my locker I manage to bump into someone.

"I'm sorr -"

"So she speaks," a snippy bored voice coming from the person I bumped into which caused my heart to halt, "and here I thought you gone and lost your voice along with your mind."

"Ymir," I breathe out after a moment.

"Oi," she snorts flatly I can tell she is glaring at me, "so you remember my name too," she claps her hand in the vacant hallway, "it's a bloody miracle!"

Okay so I deserve that.

"I guess."

"Come again," snapping her fingers at me, "you mumbled that say that again girl who looks almost liked my best friend."

I clench my fist together as I look up at her.

"I said I -"

I stop when I notice her face due to shock.

She's paler than usual and under her eyes are bags from lack of sleep. I swallow thickly as I look her in the eyes they're frowning at me as she glares.

"Mikasa got your tongue?"

Heat rushes to my cheeks and I no longer feel guilty I turn around making my way to my locker which was five steps away. I know Ymir is following me, possibly with a smug grin.

"That's it isn't it?" she asked with amusement laced in her voice.

I whirl around before even thinking about opening my locker.

"What," I began flatly as anger and fear begin to mix together.

"I said Mikasa got your -"

I move faster than I intend to pushing her into the lockers soundly covering her mouth.

"Do you dare," I hiss out shushing her as I look around swallowing thickly before glaring heavily into her surprised brown orbs, "We'll talk at the Dojo not here."

It doesn't take long for the shock to leave her eyes as I remove my hand.

"Okay?"

"Yeah, sure," she huffs out uttlerly confused, "whatever."

She turns to leave then and I begin to feel panicky.

"Ymir," I call out stopping her in her tracks, "I'm -"

"Save it for when we have our little chat 'Tato."

I smile as she begins to walk again exiting the corridor without a glance back. That's Ymir for you to proud when it comes to things like this, but then again I'm not Christa and this was more than I hoped for. She even called me 'Tato so I'll take that as a sign and spin around opening up my locker and hastily grabbing everything I needed.

Once I finished I shut my locker and then exited the building only to spot Eren's car. The corner of my mouth twitched into a smile I hadn't drove the bike here so I was relieved that he was waiting for me.

I was about to walk over to the car when a hand grabbing ahold of my arm stopped me.

"Oh, Miss Jaeger," the smooth voice of Mr. Cullens rang out, "I thought I would find you here."

My brows scrunch together is I go to wiggle my arm out of his tight hold. He has a class this period and shouldn't be out here at this time.

"Mr. Cullens," I began as I clear my voice, "may I ask why you have such a tight hold of my arm?"

"I did state that I needed to have a word with you," he smiled charmingly at me making my stomach drop I didn't like the tone in his voice – what lay beneath it for that matter – as he kept his gaze on me, "I also saw what transpired in the hall between you and Miss Lockhart."

I bit the inside of my cheek to hold in the resort as I glared at him. Neither of us noticed another person's presense until.

"May I ask why you have ahold of her arm like that," the soft, yet strong, voice of Mikasa called out from beside us.

"E-excuse me," Mr. Cullens stammered as he reluctantly loosened his grip on my arm but did not let go of it as he fixed her a stern glare, "this is a private matter between a teacher and a student who was caught pushing another peer into a locker," he straighten his stance as he tilted his head ever so slightly as he raked his eyes over her body – I wanted to hit him right then and there – as he smiled again charmingly, "and who for that matter might you be?"

"Her older sister," Mikasa answered as her jaw muscles clenched, "I would appreciate it if you let go of her arm now even if she is wrong for what she did in the hallway you have no right to touch her and I believe my parents would like to hear of this."

I was never in a million years more than happy to see her then I was at this moment in time. Mr. Cullens had finally let go of my arm when Mikasa mentioned our parents and took a few steps away from me.

"Very well I should call them and tell them myself then," his smile stays in place but his eyes darken and I have a feeling he may be telling our parents something these entirely but before I can voice this he clears his throat and bows slightly, "have a nice day," he then rises to look at me with a crooked sort of grin, "I'll be seeing you tomorrow Miss Jaeger in detention."

"Whatever," I mumble as he walks off and Mikasa fixes me a certain kind of stare causing me to frown at her, "what?"

"Nothing," she says a moment later as she turns to walk to the car only to grab me by the hand nearly dragging me there.

"What's the rush," I huff out feeling annoyed with Mr. Cullens sudden detention thrown at me and now with Mikasa treating me like – well like a child.

She doesn't answer as she lets go of my hand opening the door. Wordlessly I climb in and she nearly slams the door on my leg as she must not be in a good mood to begin with.

I place my bag down on the floor as she climbs in. There is silence – which is typically when one is alone with her – but for once the air held something else, some more tangible?

"I'm sorry," I whisper loudly to afraid really to disturb whatever it was going on with her, with us really at the moment as I turn my head to look at her, "for having to deal with that and coming to my rescue."

She puts the key into the ignition and luckily her scarf is low enough for me to see the twitch in the corner of her lip as she suppresses a smile. As she engine comes to life she shifts gears throwing it into reverse sparing me a glance before shifting again taking off without a hitch.

"I didn't do much," she finally mutters out as she keeps her face forward, "you still got a detention for pushing Ymir – why is that?"

"Uh," heat rushes to my cheeks as I look at her with a look of pure surprise I hadn't thought about her asking me that or caring for that matter so I huff out turning to face forward as I look down at my lap, "it was a misunderstanding."

"It sounded a whole lot more than that for your teacher," she paused as the venom left her mouth before clearing her throat, "said it so will you tell me what happened?"

"A misunderstanding," I repeated before sighing, "could you drop me off at the Dojo before I have to face the music at home," I ask as we come to a stop at a red light, "please?"

"Are you serious," she asked scrunching her eye brows together to look at me a moment before sighing as I nodded, "so you are – and why am I going to drop you off when you pushed her in the hall - "

"Mikasa, please."

I don't know who is more surprised her or myself. The tone in my voice feels new and by the way her blood rushes to her cheek it has an impacted on her. Before I have time to analyze or even try out that tone again she clears her throat.

"As you wish," she shifts the car moving it to the turning lane as she redirects us to Ymir's house, "but you have to tell me why you feel the need to go there before stepping foot out of this vehicle."

"Okay," I smile as a newer more familiar silence takes over. I know I have to tell her – hell she deserves some form of the truth, but I'm not ready to tell her this is by any and all means connected to the way I feel about her.

–

Twenty minutes later we pull into the parking lot where Mikasa finds a spot near the front door. Once parked she turns in her seat to look at me expectantly.

"The misunderstanding we had in the hallways was over someone that I lo – like," I huff out as I look at her, "she went to say something out loud and I well more or less shoved her into the lockers telling her to shut up so no one would over hear said person's name."

"You shoved your best friend into a locker to prevent her from saying someone's name," she muses a moment, "someone that you like?"

"Now when you put it that way it does sound bad," I pale thinking about what this all could mean for my friendship with Ymir now and wondering if I made the right decision by coming here.

"Sasha," Mikasa began as she looked at me, "I'm sure whoever he is it cannot be so bad for her to say his – "

"That's because she was going to say a girl's name," I grumble as I cut her off as I crossed my arms over my chest, "I was preventing her from saying a girls name out loud happy now?"

"No you cut me off," she said flatly causing me to look at her surprised to see the smile on her face, "if you let me finish I would have said it shouldn't matter."

"It does if she is a college student," I muttered out solemnly before realizing what I had just said.

"She's a college student?"

"Yes," I wince out trying to think up a way to get out of this conversation.

"She isn't Annie is she," Mikasa frowned as she took a better look at me, "it would make sense with the way you look at us when we kiss."

The blood leaves my body and I swear I'm about to die. She asked me if the person I liked was Annie? Of all people she would assume the girl that I loathe – the girl that has her and smirks in my face about it – I pout truly feeling hurt that she would even assume that.

"Well," she asked when I hadn't said anything still feeling wounded by what she said, "is the person you like Annie or not?"

"No," I snap out before looking down, "I'm sorry but no I don't like your perfect girlfriend so stop asking," I shake my head saying the only thing that came to mind, "her name is Levi."

"Oh," Mikasa mumble as she looked away, "I've never heard of you mentioning anyone named Levi before."

"I met her a week ago when I went to visit Connie – that's a whole nother story though and I think I'm running out of time so I should get going I need to talk to Ymir before Mama and Papa ground me."

I unbuckle my seatbelt and go to grab my bag only to stop when Mikasa gently grabs me by the arm pulling me towards her and I stiffen – only slightly – when I feel her lips against my cheek. The longer she lingers the more my heart decides to run a marathon, so I clear my throat.

"Mikasa," confusion dripping in my tone as I feel her smile against my skin causing my heart to almost short circuit due to the pure electricity courses through me causing me to blush. She removes her lips but keeps her face near mine as she rests her forehead against my temple.

It takes me a moment but I realize what she is doing and I push back the tears that start to form in my eyes. This was her way of comforting me when she knew I was upset – this was her way of showing support when it was just us, when she could just be.

For a moment I feel like I have my old Mikasa back – the one who was able to show herself to me – the one who could show her feelings for me growing up. The one before Eren and all the messes I've made after.

"It's going to be okay you know," she said finally after a long pause bringing me back from my thoughts, "Ymir she – she loves you and I'm sure things will get better for the both of you."

Before I could even begin to say anything she sits back in her seat smiling softly at me. My throat feels tight as I look at her – I feel my lips twitch into a smile and I'm sure I look terrible.

If I do she doesn't say.

I go to get out of the car, but I stop and without thinking I lean over kissing Mikasa softly on the corner of her mouth. I pull back a second later and feel slightly disappointed with how neutral her face looks.

"Thank you," I smile at her forcing my feelings away as I chide myself for being an idiot, "that means a lot to me."

I push open the door then and climb out without a glance back until Mikasa calls out for me causing me to poke my head in looking rather confused.

"What?"

"Don't worry about mother and father," she answers smiling at me, "I saw the whole thing with your teacher and I'll tell them what happened."

"Oh," was all I muttered, "OH," I say a moment later finally understanding what she meant, "thank you!"

"You're welcome," she responds with a smile before putting on her seatbelt, "now be off with you I'm sure Ymir is waiting."

I nod my head waving goodbye as I shut the door behind me.

With the situation with Mr. Cullens pretty much dealt with I feel renewed energy rise within me as I head for the door. As I grab the handle I realize this is the longest I've ever been with Mikasa and without thinking I open the door with a smile.

"Well look at what the cat dragged in," a deep voice whistled out, "and here I thought you'd stay away looks like I owe Blain twenty bucks."

I raise my brow slightly as I come face to face – well face to chest – with Brimir, one of Ymir's older brothers, who is smirking at me.

"You guys placed a bet?"

"Even better," another deep voice adds, "she has her voice back I guess Lucina was right after all."

I glance at the twins then feeling mildly offended that they thought Lulu was lying to them when she mentioned I could talk again, but I held back from saying anything when I noticed them smiling at me.

In truth – though they are twins and could look alike – they do look quite different from one another. Brimir, who is the eldest, looks like Ymir with his facial expression, though much kinder, and hair – which is the same color and length as hers – while Blain looks like an exact younger copy of their father Ari, minus having freckles which all of their siblings have.

"Sasha," a younger male voice shouts out as I turn to see a small brown blur charge at me.

"Ooft – "

"You've been gone so long," Leon whines out as he wraps his little arms around my waist and in a moment I lean down to hug him back.

"I know," I smile sadly, "I'm sorry Leo."

I look up then as the twins smile at me and then shift my gaze to notice that Ari and Steffen are both watching me. I stiffen as I hold on to little Leon fearing the worst as they approach me.

"Ah, Sasha," Ari greets me with a smile, "good to see you dear."

"Come back to beat up our daughter?"

I freeze as I loosen my hold of Leon.

"Steffen," Ari scolds him before turning to look at me, "Lucina mentioned you'd be here along with Ymir – she is in her room."

I nod my head as I shift my gaze to look at Steffen.

"I'm sorry Papa Steffen."

"It's fine I must say I was impressed with how you surprised Ymir," he chuckled waving my apology off, "to be honest I was meaning to scary you and give you the father-y talk about you putting your hand on my daughter, but given her track record and how many times she has bruised and beaten you I'd say she had it coming."

I breathe out a sigh of relief only to freeze in place once more as he glared at me.

"Now that being said I also like to tell you what I told Ymir I will not tolerate anymore of either of you hurting each other understood?"

"Yes sir," was all I could manage to say at that moment as he in turn sighed.

"You're like family if you hadn't noticed," Ari spoke out as Steffen smiled at me and Leon hugged me tighter, "and it hurt us in knowing you and Ymir went to such heights over a girl – though we absolutely adore Christa we still were not pleased with your little wager and Ymir's reaction to it."

"I understand."

"Good," he smiles at me then, "Ymir is in her room Lucina had picked her up and brought her home and took Markus, Lars and Sif to get groceries."

"Oh," I say dumbly as I pat Leon on the head and then remove him from me gently handing him over to his fathers, "I should go see Ymir then we have a lot to catch up on."

"Alright," Ari smiles as he looks over at Steffen, "you should be heading into the Dojo section to keep an eye on things," he turns to the twins who were still standing there, "you two go with your Papa I'll be heading to my study to work on case files."

"Yes father," the say in unisons as they both look at me and wave mouthing good luck as they went.

"Leon," Steffen calls after he kisses Ari on the cheek, "come along son we are going to supervise."

"Okay," he shouts out happily before looking back at me, "good luck with 'Mir Sasha!"

I laugh as he and his Papa walk to the main door leading to their gym and then turn to the hallway leading into their home. Technically I could go straight through the gym and be near Ymir's room, but choose to walk the longer route to clear my head.

It was good to know that Ari and Steffen were happy to see me and I was glad to see the boys again. Though I was still missing Markus and Lars also little Sif, but if things go well I'll be seeing them again so that was something to look forward to.

It takes fifteen minutes, but I'm right in front of Ymir's door so I take a deep breath and go to knock on her door only to jump back nearly dropping my bag as she flings it open.

"Where the hell could she be she said she would – oh."

"Hey," I squeaked out causing her to smirk, "you're family bombarded me."

"Well you haven't been here in like a hundred years so it's expected," she points out giving me the 'duh' look, "and anyways you're here now so that counts."

I nod my head smiling slightly as I look at her room.

"Woah," I marvel as I scan it from her door.

"What," she huffs out before looking behind her, "oh well yeah Christa came over and instead of sexy time we – "

"Okay I get the picture," I laugh, "I guess she got tired of the mess."

"Oi," Ymir glare/pouts at me as she punched me in the arm, "my room is manageable."

"Yeah," I breathe out as I laugh, "a manageable mess!"

"Shut your face," she grumbles as she hits me again a smile forming on her face before she sombers up, "so you gonna tell me the truth or must I guess?"

"The truth," I wheeze out as I straighten up, "so long as you let me in your room."

"Done deal," she smirks, "so waltz that ass in here so we can get this over with."

I roll my eyes and then salute her causing her to chuckle as I walk in dropping my bag by her door and then plopping down on her newly made bed.

Yesh, Christa must have really been tired of Ymir's shit because this room is spotless.

"I didn't know you even had hardwood floors," I point out as I look around, "and since when do you have a shelf?"

"Hey now watch it," Ymir warns with a glare, "I've had them forever not my fault you're terrible at paying attention."

"Right," I drawl out before sighing, "so what do you wanna know Freckles?"

"Start from where you blow up on me."

"Oh," I look down at the floor, "well it started when you where on top of me."

"Oh," she drags out causing me to look at her as she drops down beside me, "couldn't resist you're attraction for me, eh," I giggle as she wiggles her eye brow at me with that wolfish grin of hers, "it's okay to admit that I'm sexy 'Tato everyone comes to terms with it eventually."

I end up wacking her in the head with her pillow as I huff out, "right you're absolutely gorgeous, but let me continue please."

"Fine," she pouts, "carry on."

"Right," I sigh bringing her pillow to my front, "well I notice that everyone is looking at us – including Mikasa who was still rather engaged in her spout with Annie," I wince at the harshness in my voice and I know Ymir noticed it too, but she says nothing so I push on, "She gave me this look and in that moment I did not care that you were screaming god knows what at me it only mattered that Mikasa was looking at me and well Annie – I guess she didn't like that so she grabbed Mikasa by her scarf and kissed her," my throat tightens and I start to struggle, "I – I just don't know why I – I just snap – like that moment played over and over in my head and I – well I just," I looked at Ymir then fully, "I mean you were there – you were hovering over me just screaming at me and then I just it all comes out and I blank – I truly fucking blank and I'm so sorry that it was you I took it out on that it was you that I hurt."

No words are said as Ymir pulls me into her arms holding on to me as tears I hadn't notice began to fall in great succession. I grab ahold of her shirt tightly as if she'll push me away, but that only drives her to hold on tighter.

I'm not sure how long we sit there but by the time I'm done Lulu strolls in.

"Oh," she muses as she looks at us, "I'm glad to see that you two kissed and made up."

Ymir unwinds one of her arms from me and gives her sister the finger causing me to chuckle.

"Good to see you too Lu," I clear my throat then at the dry feeling I gained from crying, "what time is it?"

"It's 5:47 p.m," she smiles, "I just got back with the groceries the gym is still open if that is what you're trying to ask."

I nod my head then look at Ymir.

"How about a good clean fight and if you win you get to ride my bike?"

"Hells to the yeah," Ymir smirks, "scared if we actually brawl that Papa will gut us?"

"Yes," I laugh out, "have you even seen your Papa?"

"Well duh," she chuckles, "he did help raise me ya know?"

"Right," I sigh as I go to say thank you to Lulu only to notice she is gone.

"Ya know eighteen years and she still manages to do that shit."

"Lulu," I giggle as I stand, "silent but deadly."

"True," Ymir drawls out as she stands and stretches, "better get ready to get your ass handed to you Spud."

I roll my eyes as I take off my shirt and begin to pull down my pants.

"Woah, woah, woah," Ymir stammers out, "what the hell are you doing?"

"Getting ready," I laugh as she glares at me as I bend down to undo my boots and kick them off along with my pants, "if you hadn't noticed already I am wearing my sports bra and shorts."

"I can see that," she grunts out as she takes her shirt off as well, "warn me next time though."

"Whatever," I chuckle as I drop my clothes near my bag then grab my shoes, "I'll meet you out on the mat don't take to long."

"Sure sure," she waves out and with that I leave her room.

"Oh Sas," Ymir calls from her door causing me to stop, "I always knew you had the hots for tall, dark and silent – even if she is suppose to be your sister she technically isn't so I say go for it."

"Easier said then done," I mumble as I walk away from her room down the hall only to push open the double doors leading to the gym.

I'm taken aback the moment I see Birmir sparring with a blond haired guy about the same height as him and then even more surprised when I see Blain taken to the ground by a girl with long black hair.

"I yield," Blain yells out as the girl grabs ahold of his arm, "Levi I yield let go!"

My heart stops as I tilt my head only to notice that she is in fact the same Levi from a week ago.

No shit it really is a small world after all.

"Then that must mean – "

"Nanabu," Birmir wheezes out, "enough man I'm done."

"You've really let yourself go Bir," Nanabu chuckles before looking my way, "oh – hey you're that girl we saved from those guys!"

"I wouldn't say saved," I chuckle as he walks near me along with Levi who took notice to me as well

Nanabu lets out a hearty laugh as he looks at me "you never did give out you're name."

"You mean Sasha here," Blain winced out as he readjusted his arm, "she's a black belt I doubt she needs protection."

"What – you're serious?"

"I'm right here you know," I pout as I take my eyes off of the now sulking blond to look at Levi who is half naked – like myself – which causes me to blush. She has abs like Mikasa and it takes everything in my being to not want to go over there and touch them.

"Hello, Sasha," she says politely as she looks at me, "nice to finally see you again do you by any chance come here often?"

"Uooooh look out," Birmir cackles out unattractively, "looks like Levi is interested."

"So what if I am," she points out as she glares at him causing him to shut up as she looks back at me, "I'm sorry would you like to chat somewhere else?"

"Uh," was all I could stammer out as I tried to keep my eyes on her face.

"Actually," Ymir drawls out as she wraps an arm around my shoulder, "my best mate here owes me a match so if you don't mind try talking with her another time."

I swallow thickly as Levi looks at us and then nods her head.

"Very well," she smiles at me before turning to face the blond, "since you have beaten Birmir why not spar with me before having to go pick up Petra?"

"Alright sounds fair," Nanabu smirks before looking over at me, "can't wait to see you in action I wanna see if you really are black belt material."

I nod my head with a smile as I look at Levi a moment – only to blush again feeling rather guilty – and then to look at Ymir who is giving me a questionable stare.

I don't know what to say or what I'm really feeling for that matter so I just shrug and walk to the mat.

"You ready," I call out, "if I win I still want to have Christa to go see a movie with me."

"How about, "Ymir scowls as she gets into position, "we all go see a movie if you win?"

"Aha," I point at her, "you just said if I win."

Ymir moves quickly grabbing my arm as she goes to flip me over, "that's right I said IF you win Spud I still have an advantage here – "

I use that flip as momentum to land on my feet countering with a flip of my own.

"What are we going to talk the entire time or are we going to spar?"

I hear Nanabu's laughter to our right and I know it's because of what I said. Ymir scowls as she jumps to her feet taking her stance.

"Well come at me then Princess so I can hand your ass to you."

"Only if I can drop kick yours to Christa."

And as Ymir – with a smile – goes to throw her next punch at me I know deep down in my heart that things will definitely be alright and as I spare a glance at Levi I realize that maybe I should pay more attention to my feelings or at least try to figure out every time she looks at me I feel butterflies causing trouble in my stomach and guilt to grip at me at the same time.

I'll think about those things later though as I trade blow for blow with my best friend knowing that no matter what happens she'll always be in my corner.
